Test conditions and notes5

1.All parameters are specified at normal input(A:12Vdc, B:24Vdc, C:48Vdc), rated load, 25℃ 70% RH ambient.
2.Ripple & noise are measured at 20MHz by using a 12" twisted pair terminated with a 0.1μf & 47μf capacitor.
3.Line regulation is measured from low line to high line at rated load.
4.Load regulation is measured from 10% to 100% rated load for SCWN06, 25% to 100% rated load for DCWN06.
5.The final equipment must be re-confirm that it still meet EMC directives. For guidance on how to perform these EMC tests, please refer to “EMI testing of component power supplies.”(as available on http://www.meanwell.com)

FAQ

Can I use the DCWN06C-15 to power a 15V industrial control or instrumentation circuit?

This model is intended for constant-voltage ±15V output when the input source is within the 36-72V DC range. It can deliver up to ±200mA with a 6W rating, so it fits low-power control or instrumentation circuits that stay within those limits.

Is the DCWN06C-15 suitable for a compact 15V embedded module inside factory equipment?

It is a practical option for compact embedded ±15V electronics that need conversion from a higher-voltage DC bus. The 31.8 x 20.3 x 10.2 mm package and 12.4g weight are useful where enclosure space is limited.

Can this 15V converter support low-power analog or interface sections in automation equipment?

It can support low-power ±15V analog or interface sections if the total demand stays within ±200mA and 6W. Because it is a constant-voltage converter, it is intended for electronics that require a regulated ±15V rail rather than higher-current loads.

Is the DCWN06C-15 suitable for outdoor panels or exposed environments?

The operating temperature range is -40C to +90C, which supports use across a wide temperature span. However, no IP rating is listed in the provided specs, so exposed outdoor use cannot be confirmed from the product data alone.

How does the DCWN06C-15 compare with the 5V and 12V versions?

All three models in the series are rated at 6W and have the same 31.8 x 20.3 x 10.2 mm dimensions, 12.4g weight, and -40C to +90C operating temperature range. The DCWN06C-15 provides ±15V at ±200mA, while the DCWN06C-12 provides ±12V at ±250mA and the DCWN06C-05 provides ±5V at ±500mA.
